4. This type of work has been prepared to meet the compelling
needs of the under and postgraduate medical students.
To promote its accessibility this work is presented in 2 CDs,
each one contains 6 chapters.
The 1st
one includes (Barium Series in GIT–Portal Venography
– Plain X-ray Abdomen and Biliary).
The 2nd
one includes ( Vascular Surgery – Chest – Urology –
Varieties and Orthopedic).
In fact no effort has been spared in trying to eliminate the
difficulties encountered by medical students during their
studies and training surgery.

the splenic vein provide the main venous drainage.
They are arranged into 4 layers with a series of
perforating veins.
In Portal Hypertension they are all dilated with

Barium swallow
It revealed that the barium-filled diverticulum
extends below the level of the cricopharyngeus
posterior to the proximal cervical esophagus.
A large diverticulum may protrude to the left or
compress the cervical esophagus.
Diagnosis most probably
Zenker's diverticulum
(posterior hypopharyngeal diverticulum)
23. Zenker's diverticulum (posterior hypopharyngeal
diverticulum) is an acquired mucosal herniation
through an area of anatomic weakness in the region
of the cricopharyngeus muscle (Killian's dehiscence).
This area of anatomic weakness has been variably
described as between the thyropharyngeus and
cricopharyngeus muscles or between the oblique and
horizontal fibers of the cricopharyngeus.
Patients complain of coughing following swallowing,
food regurgitation, or halitosis. Many patients with
have an associated hiatal hernia and/or
gastroesophageal reflux.
24. Rarely, these diverticula are complicated by ulceration
or malignancy.
During swallowing, a Zenker's diverticulum appears
as a posterior bulging of the distal pharyngeal wall
above an anteriorly protruding cricopharyngeus.
At rest, the barium-filled diverticulum extends below
the level of the cricopharyngeus posterior to the
proximal cervical esophagus.
A large diverticulum may protrude to the left or
compress the cervical esophagus.
